Most students hate tests. The fear of failing them is really unpleasant. Give these four studies tips a try and see how much better you feel during your next exam.
⒈ Survey your textbook before you read.
Take a couple of minutes to find the word-list, index, questions and other important information. Then, when you sit down to study, you'll know where to find the answers you are looking for. These questions let you know what you can probably expect in any upcoming tests.
⒉
As you read, summarize each section of the chapter on a post-it note. After you have read the entire chapter, go back and review the notes. It is an easy and efficient way to review information. And you can easily find the information you need.
⒊Make your own practice test.
After you finish reading, pretend you are a professor writing a test for the chapter. Review the material you just read and make up your own practice test. Include all vocabulary words, study questions, and highlighted words you can find, as well as any other important information. If not, go back and study some more.
⒋ Create visual flashcards.
Flashcards will help you remember important terms, people, places and dates. On the front of the card, write down the term or the question. This will help ensure that you grasp the study material. Review these cards and quiz yourself before the actual test.
